Excitement Builds as Kritsa Awaits Internet Access

The gap of internet access grows smaller once again as a new region In Greece is not allowed access. The residents of Kritsa will have access for free spring 2010. Lassithi Chamber and its Chairman, Mr. Nikos Tzanopoulos, made the decision along with computer networks official, Manolis Spiridakis. As of now, the antenna most of the equipment have been installed and are ready to go.

This will be a great development in the area and will allow for fast broadband access. The hope is to just make Greeks more dialed in and allow them access to information. One of the fears of the community was that the actual antenna perched atop a mountain would attract lethal lightning to the area, they have since then been reassured of the safely of the device.

The Kritsa community shows a lot of gratitude towards all who contributed to the project; they are excited and eager to be a part of the online world. This a a huge advancement for the country of Greece as well as the rest of the online world. It is so important to make sure that all people have access to the internet and it is great to see that happen one step at a time.

Special thanks to the Crete Gazette.
